PSP XI Questions

Quite a few questions, and some answers that have appeared in forums and newsgroups regarding Paint Shop Pro, and Corel Corporation purchasing version 9 from Jasc. Corel brought out version X, and has since brought out version XI. I think the Roman numeral system for version numbers adds nothing to understanding, and makes it confusing for users.

Here's an answer from Linda Niewenstein regarding one question:

I've upgraded from PSP X and have a robust, new system, yet I've noticed that XI runs far slower than X. It opens slower, tools respond slower, and it seems to use far more system resources. Is there any way to improve its performance?

Hi Tony,

It appears from the majority of postings from Users experiencing slow downs stem from the Organizer's caching of images especially on first start up, and if that process is interrupted. Here are a few things that have helped others.

I've not heard anyone having trouble with the tools responding slower, and on my older system PSP 9, PSP X, and PSPP XI run tools at approximately the same speed, so I'm not sure what may be causing that problem for you. Just by chance, did you install PSPP XI with your antivirus closed and then disconnected from the net with the firewall off? Doing so has fixed problems for some folk in various software apps.

Take care, Linda
